I am so sorry hunny :[
I understand that talking to your mom could be hard because she is hurt as well. I suggest talking to siblings, friends (even if they are not very close), and maybe your school counseler. Usually there are groups available is schools for teens who have lost a family member. In my school a group of students who are in the same situation all come together once a week to talk at there guidance counselers office. See if your school has this. If it does not, start it yourself! There must be others people in your school who are going through the same thing and can relate. Plus you'll meet tons of new people!
I really hoped i helped. And feel better!! <3333

I don't think anyone is supposed to "get over" the death of a loved one. It doesn't matter how long ago it was. You still miss your dad because you loved him, and that's ok. It will get better with time, of course, but I'm sure you're not the only one who misses him, especially during Christmas and the holiday season.
I think it would really help you to talk to someone you trust, a person you don't feel judged by, a good listener who makes you feel comfortable. It may be a teacher, school guidance counselor, psychologist, or just someone who knew your dad well and misses him too (maybe even someone who can tell you some fun stories about him to add to the good memories you already have). But you may need your mom's help to find one of these people to talk to. So... as much as you don't like talking to her about it (which is fine), don't let that stop you from finding someone else. It will help.

This is really hard, and it may be difficult for your mother or stepdad to talk about it, maybe for different reasons. But it's normal for you to want to talk about it. Maybe a neighbor, or a relative on your dad's side of the family, or a minister.
My mother was ten when her father died. When I was about ten I asked her whatever happened to the grandfather I should have had. She cried, even then, so I said no more, but now, many years later, I wished I had encouraged her to talk about it. For one thing, there are things that I wish I knew about that grandfather.
If it really is difficult (impossible) to find someone to share your memories of your father, get it down in writing. Don't worry if you think you don't know all the words you need, just write down what comes to your mind.

Sorry for the lose of your dad. You must be thinking about him more since holiday is coming soon and Christmas is around the corner. If you have other family member likes your aunt, uncle, cousin who knew your dad in person to talk to. If they are not around then talk to your friend and tell them how much you miss him. Once you let it all out, you will feel so much better. GL

Do you have an aunt or Gran you could talk to about him?
If not is there a teacher at school who you trust?
I keep a diary and write down all my thoughts about the people I miss and that helps.

What about your grandparents? Maybe an aunt or uncle or older sibling?
Beyond that try your church pastor (if you have one) or maybe even your guidance counselor at school...or even the parent(s) of one of your good friends if you are comfy talking to any of them.

I am sorry to hear about your dad. My best friend lost her dad and she always has a hard time dealing with it. She always comes to me to talk especially when she feels like she can't talk to anyone else. She knows I will never tell anyone what she tells me unless she gives me permission. Find someone who will do that for you. It always helps to talk about it. Go to whom ever you feel best about sharing your feelings with. It is mostly about your comfort level. So just go to who you feel most comfortable talking to. It is up to you who you must talk to. And good luck!

Can you talk to your friends about it? Try speaking with your school counselor, too. How about your pastor at church? Do you have any on-line pals that you email regularly? Best of luck to you.

Try talking to a counselor or a therapist about it. Maybe one of your friends or teachers that you trust.
